1.3 city at vs sonic 1.4 ltz at

[ghosthunter]

Quite disappointed at this coz we really like the sonic. Is it safe to say that it is slower at acceleration than the 2008 city 1.3 or nissan sentra? My friend drives a car like mine and she says that our other friend's sentra is really slow to accelerate.

In comparison to a 2008 City 1.3L, the Sonic is slower. I would think the problem is transmission related. The manual tranny version of the Sonic feels much better, nice feeling smooth shifter.









BTW, I hate the Sonic's gauge cluster "pod" design. It feels like a retrofit... and I feel the novelty of it's design will be gone after six months of owning this car.
